PeriIs of Fishermen.

YARMOUTH, N. H., April 2S.-The
people living about Tusket islands and the
neighboring mainland have passed forty
eight hours of terrible anxiety. These
islands are great lobster fishing
grounds. On Tuesday afternoon there
was a gale and the men were unable to 90
out to the traps. Towards ) O'Clock the
wind died out and boats put out by scores
to take in Holsters. They had Just about
time to reach the traps when the gale
came up with increased violence and blew
with wild fury all night. Return was i'm
possible, and their families on shore spent
an awful night listening to the shrieking
Of the winds and the roar of the breakers.
When morning came nothing was to be
seen of the fshermen's boats, and it
seemed as if they had all been lost. 1t
was not until this morning, when steam
ers and schooners arrived, that any defn-
lite information as to the fate of the men
could be obtained. Albert Harris, of Little
River, is known to have been drowned,
and his brother Frederick George, and
Gordon Hamilton, G. Muire, and another
man, name unknown, are believed to be
drowned, as their boats have been found
bottom up. Many marvellous escapes are
reported.

A Cardinals Views.

LONDON, April 2S.-NeIt Saturdays
issue of the Tablet will contain a special
article by Cardinal Manning, in which he
will contend that unless the rights of la
Dor can be denied, the liberty of organiza.
ton to protect them and the freedom
founded upon them cannot be denied.
Toward the end of the last century, the
cardinal says, the doctrines of political
economy under the plea of free contract,
broke up the old relations between m
ployer and employed, and the conflict be-
tween capital and labor then became per-
petual. The power of capital is all but
irresistible for the poor who must labor
for the bread of life. Hunger lays the
necessity upon them of laboring for the
sake of their homes and themselves.
When the law ceased to intervene, organ
i~zations for mutual defense straightway
arose. The conflict between capital and
labor is most unequal. The freedom OF
contract on which political economy glori.
Ges itself hardly exists. 1t is surely the
church's Office to protect the poor and to
protect their labor, which has built ur
the human commonwealth.

PARIS, April 2S.-Herbette, French
ambassador at Berlin, telegraphs that yes
terday evening he held an interview with
Count Bismarck, the German minister
for foreign affairs, and that the latter
maintained that French territory was not
violated when Schnaebele was arrested.
Herbette adds, however, that Count Bis
marck states that Germany is inclined to
admit that the arrest was irregular and
contrary to the Franco-G German frontier
convention of 1877, aud on this account
will release Schnaebele when letters al
legged to have been written by Guntsch
are proved to be authentic. The dispatch
adds that it is believed hat the release of
Schnaebele will take place to-day, or at
the latest Tomorrow, and that Herbette
is to have another interview with Count
Bismarck during the day, The Journal
Des Debdts publishes dispatches from
Berlin stating that the Sohnaebele affair
has been amicably settled between France
and Germany.

PORTSMOUTH, o.. April 2S.-Dr. w.
7. Northrup, a prominent physician at
Haverhill, in the eastern portion OF Scioto
county. was murdered by Thomas Mccoy,
a saloon keeper, and his brother Alfred,
the postmaster at Haverhill, aided by two
sons of Alfred Mccoy. DIR. Northrup
had incurred the displeasure of the Nc
Coy's by being active in favor of local
option. They waylaid him yesterday
when coming to his office and began fir,
ing on him with pistols and shot guns.
He was unarmed. but drew a pocket
knife and badly wounded Alfred Mccoy
before he was fatally wounded. The Me-
Coy's have been arrested and there is
feeling in favor of lynching.

ity for believing hat pleuro pneumonia
exists in Missouri. and will be compelled
to rigidly enforce the law on this matter.
